Research meaning — English

An expression for the father’s displeased facial response when the participant mentioned returning home; it is embedded in a history of family exclusion.
Research meaning — Bengali
এক বর্ণনায় আঘাত পেলে ভাই মুখ ভার করে বাইরে চলে যায়, প্রতিশোধে মারে না; আরেক বর্ণনায় লোকের ভিন্ন প্রতিক্রিয়া বোঝাতে ব্যবহৃত। বাড়ি ফেরার কথা বললে বাবার বিরূপ মুখভঙ্গি বা অপ্রসন্নতা বোঝাতে বক্তার ব্যবহার। পরের প্রশ্নে বাড়িতে নিতে না চাওয়ার ব্যাখ্যা আসে।
What this research adds
Preserves both a non-retaliatory family response and variation in interpersonal reception; neither is literal skin-colour change. Adds relational rejection communicated through a facial-expression idiom rather than a symptom label.
